 This change has gone on in all industrialized countries for decades. This is not a recent development. The question is how the system is dealing with that change, how much it's willing to include all Americans, how much it's willing to learn from others and focus on new alternatives for the future different from anything in the past. I predict greater success with building bridges, rather than building walls.

The discrepancy between the rich and the poor is great in most countries. It's especially sad when this happens in model democracies like the USA. I find it hard to believe that the super rich in the administration will really help the middle class and the poor. Rather they as a kind of "oligarchy" and their friends will profit the most from the next four years. Should the opposite happen, I'd be the first to apologize.

This world could easily be a better world, if only the leaders of respective countries set an example. No one on this planet needs to starve. In principle, there's enough food to go around. It's a question of appropriate distribution, starting with global industries and their fair distribution systems.
